Lewis & Clark Board game—Story Map + Blog

Today I did my rough draft story map for my Lewis and Clark expedition board game. First I placed and named Fort Mandan and Fort Clatsop as close to where they were really located as possible. Then I drew little squares on the route of the westward expedition. I then drew another route to recognize the homeward expedition as well. I then wrote on what I want and where to put the pictures I want to decorate the board with.

School Pictures—Blog

Yesterday we went to Portland to have our School Pictures taken at the mall. When we got there we met our photographer Tom and he was absolutely hilarious! We got our Halloween pictures taken on a black backdrop and it was so much fun. Then we changed into our school outfits and we got our school pictures taken. I chose to where a gray tunic with purple flower designs on it and lily chose to where a pink Rapunzel tangled shirt and a purple skirt. We got our school pictures done and they turned out really nice. We put our skates on and our skating dresses for our next pictures they also turned out extraordinary and the trip to Portland was definitely worth it.

New Dance teacher & lesson—Blog *Sophie will be tapping with Daphne once a week on Fridays.

Today I went and met my new dance teacher. Her name is Daphne McCoy and she was very nice and a very good tapper. I showed her Hit the Road Jack and Mr. Trell’s warm up. I think she liked me and I liked her. She taught me the beginning to the new dance that my class would be performing at her Christmas Recital. I will be visiting her again next week.  

Technical Difficulties Re-do: Lewis & Clark Glossary 6 x 6 *poor Sophie had to re-do her entire 6 x 6 for day 49 because Word made all her work disappear….but she actually did a better job on the re-do and had a good attitude about it!

Skating, skating, and more skating—Blog

Ever since Bowdoin started I have been skating my butt off! But it has definitely been worth it! My double flip has been coming along great and all my other doubles I have been working on like crazy. My new program is finished and Linda says it looks absolutely fabulous! I am going to be testing two dances as well and Rob says they are looking wonderful. My Intermediate moves are ready to test again. I’ve been doing those twizzles non-stop and haven’t fallen on them since the last test session. I’m going to keep working hard on all my skating.
